I figured it out. lol. it took me 5 hours to root and mod my phone, because of the radio flashing. but at 2am (PST) I finally trial and errored enough that it finally happened. Now I'm running Liquid 3.1, but debating installing Cyanogen.

Either way. It's done. and now I can root my fiancee's dinc2 in 45min instead of 5 hours. lol
